A couple weeks ago i bought another crx. On friday i finally set life aside and decided to start tearing into this car, first things first was wheels, so i put my rotas on. Now the d15b2 was "rebuilt" meaning covered in spray paint just wasnt enough for me. I had a jdm d15b laying around so why not. I also started a full wiretuck besides fuel lines and brake lines. Soon to come is some kimo and paint!!

Right after i put rims on


Some NY rust


ohh yeahh!




start of wiretuck


with a few buddies and some purple power she got clean






and itss pink!

You should have removed the headlights though. Overspray sucks.....either way looks like a nice start.

That engine bay shot "made me LoL."

I have never seen someone paint the plastic intake tube, funny for sure.

Flat pink on a red car just makes it look like a really faded paint bay

slob20ef

most of what you see for overspray is just a pink dust wipes right off, for the rest some thinner will clean it up. I got the engine all wired today, for the injectors i built a subharness from the jumperharness that was i was not hacking up the factory ecu plugs. The p28 i order showed up today and is a p0b, awsome, not. Also the car is getting painted white

here is the start of extending wires to injectors


Soldering up the harness



finished, looks pretty clean i also finished the dpfi to mpfi
swap and got the harness on the engine, i forgot to take some
pics. all thats left is obd1 throttle body and my p28 should be
running tomorrow

jason saizan

nice would of sprayed a diff color how r u doin ur wireing u just buying jumpers ? did u paint the tranny an block

luis84one

WTF...

slob20ef

no i ran all my wiring, pretty much made my own jumpers besides the obd0-obd1 jumper harness i did clean up and paint engine and trans. i see alot of people getting on here seeing someones car, going out to the garage and copying what they see, i have yet to see a tucked pink bay. kinda got delayed my buddy wadded up his integra pretty bad so ive been helping him, going to shoot the car a white with green pearl just going to be a longer project than i hoped for.

slob20ef

i also started putting in my patch panels, i did get them glued in and fiberglassed ill get some more pics tomorrow.
gotta love ny

side view

slob20ef

so finally got the driver side quarter panel finished. Needed alot more work than id hoped for i will be laying the paint this weekend, gloss white with with purple pearl mid coat.

heres the rust mostly cut out, i didnt get any pics of the rest cut out with the POR-15


Now its all done

slob20ef

also started on the driver door which had 3 huge rust holes, couldnt find a door so i cutout metal, fiberglassed, duraglassed and got some filler on it.

jason saizan

u do pretty good work ima body man an painter was curious also on ur quarter panel did u weld in new sheet metal or just fiberglass then filler . i have a 90 crx project of my own but im doin the blackwidow 12 piece body kit an nuthin even near fits ima have to do so much of my own fabircateing but i cnt complain bc i got the whole kit on craigslist for 250

slob20ef

I actually had some of a replace quarter panel left over from my buddys turbo gsr rex, i used panel glue then fiberglass, duraglass to fill in any deep low spots, try to keep bondo or filler for glazing. But i would to the same with the body kit, either glue or rivet it onto the car and fiberglass it together, however ive noticed over a couple years the rivets back out and start to push through the fiberglass.

slob20ef

Finally i finished the paint on the rex today. 2002 Toyota super white with purple pearl mid coat, shopline clear.
First coat of base, after two coats of white epoxy primer




Then onto the pearl


First coat of clear




Me painting haha


Finished product

slob20ef

Im going to be putting the car back together tomorrow so ill get more pics of the car in the sun if it doesnt rain. Sold my wheels oh well, a set of white rota track r will set the car off

mr darcko

Lookin' good... Color is sick.

slob20ef

thanks man got alot of time and money into the paint, spent more than i wanted to but its worth it. I put down a little more pearl than average which gives the white a "cream" color due to the tint of the mid coat, but the purple pearl in the sun will look good.

AyO Deebo

kilassapsap
